Summary: This paper concerns the fixed‐time stabilization problem for uncertain strict‐feedback nonlinear systems. Generally, the so‐called fixed‐time stabilization is an extended concept of global finite‐time stabilization. By using fixed‐time controller, the convergence time of the closed‐loop system can be pre‐set by adjusting design parameters, which has more practical application values. The idea of bi‐limit homogeneity has been introduced to design the fixed‐time controller with two terms, whose orders are tuning by a bi‐limit–like strategy. That is the orders of the two terms are less than 1 and more than 1, respectively. Meanwhile, by utilizing power integral terms in the controller, the problem arising from the growth rates of uncertain nonlinear functions can also be solved. Based on appropriate Lyapunov function and backstepping technology, the parameters of the controller are finally determined, and the developed controller ensures the stabilization of system within a fixed time. Stability analysis and simulation results are respectively given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
